Chapter 96 No one will have a hard time with money
Wu Ming, hiding in the dark, watched the encounter between Eddie and Fern.
He even looked at the sharp contrast between Fern, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes and a valuable watch, and Eddie, who smelled of alcohol and was wearing cheap clothes.
One looks like a successful business elite, and the other looks like a homeless vagabond.
Judging from the clothes of the two of them, they should be two parallel lines that will never intersect. But the fact is that after Fern saw Eddie, although he was surprised by the other person's downfall, he still called him brother-in-law.
"I'm so happy that you can still call me brother-in-law! We haven't seen each other for how many years, eight or nine years. I remember that after I divorced your sister, your family moved to Orleans!" Facing the rich man,
With Fern dressed up, Eddie looked a little at a loss, always not daring to look at each other.
Fern obviously noticed this. He patted Eddie on the shoulder with some regret and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for so long. Let me buy you a drink. Let's chat while drinking and how you became a person."
This is what it looks like!”
"Okay, okay..." Although Eddie agreed reluctantly, he still walked into the bar with Fern.
Wu Ming was sitting on the periphery of the bar, watching Eddie drink wine while complaining about his ex-wife's brother, who is now a successful man.
During this period, Eddie blamed his poor life on being born at the wrong time and not meeting his talents, and asked Fern in a subtle way how he became a successful person after not seeing him for a few years.
"A person's success can never be separated from the secret."
When Fern heard Eddie ask about his success, he lay down on the chair like a boss and said proudly: "The secret of my success is to seize the right opportunity at the right time. Seeing you like this
,I maybe, maybe..."
Fern hesitated, causing Eddie to ask: "Maybe what?"
"Perhaps I can help you and let you feel successful!" Fern thought for a while and took out a small sealed bag from the pocket of his coat.
In this sealed transparent bag, there is a small pill that is the size of a sleeping pill and looks crystal clear.
"What's this?"
"the secret of success!"
Pushing the pill in front of Eddie, Fern's cell phone rang before he could explain a few words.
Fern stretched out his hand to make a silent gesture, answered the phone and said a few vague words, and then there was a quarrel.
Wu Ming listened to Vern arguing with the person on the other end of the phone, and could vaguely hear words such as cooperation, all centered on one term, that is NXT-48.
"Eddie, I have to leave. I give you this business card. You are welcome to come to me for a drink at any time!" After Fern hung up the phone, he stood up, patted Eddie on the shoulder, and hurried outside.
Eddie was holding the small pill given by Fern in his hand. In his drunken state of mind, he saw Fern pushing open the door and leaving. And vaguely, he seemed to see someone leaving behind Fern in the bar.
"We left together. Who is this person? Is he Fern's friend?" Eddie felt that his mind was in a mess. The large amount of alcohol was intoxicating his nerves, making him feel dizzy when he thought about things.
"Hi, is your name Fern?"
The person who followed Fern out was Wu Ming. He suddenly thought that since Fern was able to obtain NZT-48, it was obviously related to the illegal research institute.
In this case, why doesn't he make two preparations? On the one hand, he waits for Eddie to develop NZT-50 in the plot, and on the other hand, he also conducts research on it. Anyway, what Wu Ming wants is just the NZT series of drugs. He doesn't care who the inventor is, so he has two preparations.
Obviously more efficient.
"Who are you?" Fern looked very wary after being stopped. He kept looking at Wu Ming's appearance, as if he wanted to confront someone in his memory.
"You can call me the sponsor. I'm rich. I'm very rich. I want to meet with your superiors to talk about the issue of NZT-48!"
"NZT-48! Sorry, I don't know what you are talking about, I have to leave!"
Although Fern didn't know where the stranger in front of him heard NZT-48, but for safety reasons, he did not want to talk to strangers, especially standing on the street.
Seeing this scene, Wu Ming smiled indifferently. He didn't even use magic, but directly made an offer: "One million US dollars, all for you. I just ask to meet with your superior and talk to him.
Big deal!”
"One million dollars! For me? Are you sure?" After asking three questions in a row, Fern stopped.
You know, although Fern has NZT-48 in his hands, these drugs belong to the institute, and he is just a businessman.
One million US dollars is not a small number to him, and no one will have trouble with money.
"I'll give you one million U.S. dollars, and you contact your superiors for me! After everything is done, there will be another one million U.S. dollars as reward." Wu Ming flicked his finger, and a blue gem flew through the air and landed directly.
Fern's hands.
Fern was a little disbelieving and took the gem and studied it carefully.
The final answer was that the value of this blue gem was over one million US dollars, making it a rare and top-quality product.
"This is your deposit. Go contact your superior. I want to meet with him as soon as possible."
"Aren't you afraid that I won't do anything with the money?"
"Haha, you can't escape from the palm of my hand. My child, don't have such naive thoughts. Do you understand?"
Fern looked at the gem in his hand, then at Wu Ming with a smile on his face, and nodded heavily.
People who like to trade gems, apart from the South African warlords, are the mafia. The cash of these people is often invisible, and gems and other things are valuable, so in their hands they are common currency.
Fern was very suspicious of Wu Ming's identity at this moment, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, and he didn't want to know everything clearly. Because of his many years of social experience, Fern understood that only fools live the longest, and smart people often end up miserable.
"Sir, if I have any news, how should I contact you?" Fern said cautiously, asking for contact information.
Wu Ming thought for a while and said directly: "Give me your mobile phone. We will use this to contact you in the future."
After hesitating for a moment, Fern glanced at the gem in his hand and handed his cell phone to Wu Ming's hand.
Wu Ming raised his phone and walked towards the distance without looking back, slowly disappearing into the crowd.
Looking at the direction in which Wu Ming disappeared, Fern felt that he was simply dreaming, but the gems in his hands and the disappearing mobile phone told him that this was not a dream.
If it's not a dream, it can only be reality.
Fern lowered his head and thought for a moment, then decided to return to his residence immediately, contact his superiors in the research institute, and report today's events. As for whether he is so efficient because of the rewards after completing the work, that is only Fern himself.
knew.
However, no one can have trouble with money, right?
